12 This point is covered comprehensively in Etinson's review. I chose to engage with Etinson's review because he is a philosopher focusing on moral theory and human rights. While my comments are targeted towards interdisciplinary and evidentiary issues, Etinson focuses on the theoretical basis for Beitz's perspective and the interaction between Beitz and other philosophers.
